You keep using that word, and [I'm] not sure [I] what it means!

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Kayfabe means scripted or in character, or 'fake' as people like to say. Shoot means off script, or it is real. Shoot fight means the guys in the ring actually started throwing blows. Shoot interview would be a wrestler speaking their mind off script and out of character

You've had a good definition, but Wikipedia has (a lot) more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe
